[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 579985, member: 40658"] People have a seriously bad perception of the Apartheid-regime and what white South Africans think of it and the recent changes. The modern white South African will show respect and appreciatio. For what Madiba did. You should actually ask the old Black people what are their thoughts and many of them would say SA was a better place during Apartheid. But that is an entire different topic which I wouldn't want to go into right now. I was born when Apartheid was nearly at its end, and I didn't grow up with it. I was in school with both white and black pupils. I can speak a bit of one of the native Languages (Northern Sotho). And I understand when people speak it to me. Once again the misconception was made by the international media. That being said, there are still a lot of hate crimes with the latest one the Kotze-case now at the courts. The K-word is still in people's vocabulary, but it isn't being said, or used. The biggest fear people have is that the ANC will start a new Apartheid-regime. I personally think that it will never happen, and these talks about the "night of the long knives" are made up stories by old White South Africans, to keep the youth in a state of fear. The respect for Madiba is great! I respect him more than the pope! He is a father-figure and he is an idol. People have been idolizing him for decades, now that he is nearly at his end, it is fitting that they show tribute, and interest. Everyone wishes him not to die, as a living Icon bears so much more prestige than a dead one. A fallen idol's [/QUOTE]
